Momentum - a dark and moody experimental soundscape featuring free voicings by my lovely wife Yucca Rose and an improvised piano solo by the renowned Indonesian pianist M. Ade Irawan. The song material was explicitely left raw and unpolished to preserve the intense mood of the (mostly) live recording from 2013. Video: https://youtu.be/euanNSQTMz0

Momentum (feat. Yucca Rose)

"Sabbatical Leave" is the first entry of "The Adventures of Prof. Gideon Longbottom". The evil researcher hates the world, and particularly his students with their smartphones always at hand. He therefore takes a Sabbatical leave to close himself into a laboratory in the cellar, for designing a weapon of mass destruction...with some (dark) humour.

SABBATICAL LEAVE

Walking down the hall, the comedy plays  
Students mocking me, "The hatchback will pay" 
The rector won't pay me regards
The faculty has only retards
Walking stick is carrying
My twisted proportions

My forehead is spacious
To accommodate grandeur
Massive head, naughty grin
My asymmetric chin
Showing the wasteland of my hatred for you

BURN! THEM ALL! 
Petty dreams end in screams
Fire, your sins	
BURN! THEM ALL!
The final resolution
Apocalypse of melted skin

Students check their smartphone
For quantum optics attention is gone
Spoiling little brats, technology
Life upon a display, making them restless

Your ignorance, your blessing
The final resolution

I’m taking my leave
Working in silence
In the cellar
Holding your smartphone
My grin on their display

BURN! THEM ALL! 
Makeup and soaring screams
Flaming phones melt your skin	
BURN! THEM ALL!
The final resolution
I’m gonna be a superstar!

(My) walking stick in flames
But I won’t care at all
Dancing on your graves
My twisted figure at the shopping mall

Delirium of the senses
The women will be mine
I shall just collect the pieces
Legs oh, will be carbonised
But after all, it will be fair!

Stepping down the stairs, cursing them all
You wonder why my laughing erupts
“That evil man has gone nuts!”

The dawn of my revenge
Sabbatical call

BURN! THEM ALL!
BURN! THEM ALL!
Revenge is nigh!

Sabbatical Leave (Academic Dread  Pt .1) (feat. MathGen)

Sabbatical Leave (Academic Dread, pt.1)

The pandemic has forced my friends at Rural Grit Happy Hour back in Kansas City to move their weekly open mic session online. It's sad that they can't meet in person, but it has allowed me, three years after moving to the East Coast, to join in on something I've sorely missed. It's great to (virtually) hang out with these folks once again.

A couple of weeks ago, the theme was Songs About Food, and it prompted me to complete an idea that had been floating untethered in my head for a while.

For the action-packed video version of this song, go here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqxP18LbsCQ&t=35s

Boson Spin - Lost [part 2]

Fancied doing something light and floaty. I kinda like the simplicity and feel of it. It’s just another wee tune with no real meaning but it’s place in the world won’t harm anyone.. and it at least brought me some joy making it.

Time to be idle (Instrumental)
